Olden to Briksdal Glacier and Loen Skylift car rental

If we rent a car how far of a drive to Briksdal Glacier and how much time do you need there. Trying to figure out if we can do both and have time at the top of the Skylift to do some hiking and lunch . Thanks..

If u hire a car u have lots of time.... its take ca 45 min from Olden to Briksdal and ca 6 min from Olden to Loen skylift.

Welcome to Olden :)

Excellent thanks..

Galaxy - If I have a car hire am I better off going to Kjenndalen glacier? Is it less touristy and nicer? How far is it away from Olden? Thanks again.

We did both the Loen skylift and Briskdal Glacier quite easily in one port day, and with a 2 and 6 year old in tow (surprisingly the two year old made it all the way to the glacier with help of a rented troll car that took us most of the way through Briksdal). We correctly guessed ahead of time we'd prefer the skylift, so we went there in the morning when the weather was more stable.

Another option to consider might be to take a cab to the Loen skylift, and to take the public bus to Brisksdal, but renting a car sounds like a good plan too. Olden adventures runs shuttles to both attractions, which is another option. Have a great time no matter what you decide.

Thanks Kitkat.. we are a group of 8. so getting two cars and splitting it is actually cheaper and we rather try to beat or stay away from the masses as best we can. So, if it is nice in the morning you say head right over to loen to ensure the view if not head to one of the glaciers and hope it clears later in the day.

That sounds perfect. Good luck with the car rental - it’s a beautiful drive to briksdal.

Yes,if you are back in port around 3pm you have 8 hours,so yes with that time you can easy visit all 3 places. If i was you i would visit Briksdal glacier first and then Loen Valley and the Kjenndalen Glacier and on your way down from Loen Valley the Loen Skylift.

Thanks, I just looked on a map and looks like a plan unless my group wants to ax something for hiking up top by Leon Skylift and I guess a lot depends on weather.. If it sunny in the morning might have to make changes.
